& Great Movement.

According to the statistical report of the
sunday schools in the United States rendered
at the late international Convention held in
Chicago, there has been increase in the scholar
membership of all the Sunday schools in the L.
:. since 1854 of $685.. II is interesting 10
know by what agencies this increase has been
secured for il shows that great missionary
work has been done to bring an army of $780,
900 into active membership with our sunday
schools. No more important work can he con-
ccived of. for ii has to do with the destiny of
our entire country.
The three last Annual reports of the .\meri-
can Sunday-School Onion, the old undenomin-
ational Society that cares for the Children
who arc provided for by no one else, show that
since ISL, it has brought iS5.03i children into
1917 new Sunday schools. Il number equal to
1000 more than one half of all the increase re-
ported as having been secured by this and all
other agencies during these three years. But
this American Sun,lav-School Union did more
than this-it aided 1873 other schools. which
have 46,l!4 teachers and 5!5,.l4 scholars,-s
that i'll these three years ii reached J.S.2 COM
mlinites and Sunday schools, and 100 rs child
ren. and youth, and then reai,led and revisited
these schools 9.2lJ times, besides making So
jS4 visits to famies, >upplyin. 4J.0l9 destitute
persons with the scriptures and holding 21.2f1
religious meetings. That there is great need
OF just such work in our country. is evident
from the fact that according to the Intcrnation-
al Secretary's report there are but S,034,47S
scholars i'll the Sunday schools in the United
States that report to this convention, which
the chairman of the Executive Committee said
was five per cent. too small. If five per cent.
were added, we have S,I3G,20l scholars in all
our Sunday schools. But the statement was
ma'c that 20 per cent. should he deducted for
those over tWenty-one and under six years of
age and those who attend more than one school
and are counted twice; which deducted would
leave G.,4S.9Gl children and youth of school
age in all our Sunday-schoos, while there are
ut least 100000 more children of that age in
our country. and very likely most of them at
tend no Sunday school.
Truly the American Sunday School Union is
doing great work, for present and future
America, for which there is most urgent need.

Yet Out of tho Difficulty.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov. 16.--The case Of
Sherburne r Hopkins, who sent the bogus
Internal machine to Chief Justice Waite,
came up in the police court here Tuesday.
Hopkins counsel, Gen. Henkle, moved to
quash the information against his client, on
the ground that the facts set forth in it were
not sufficient to make an offense. The infor-
nation charged Hopkins with attempt
ing to defraud newspaper corre-
spondents by selling them as new, a state
ment he knew to he false. Gen Henkle said
that it was alleged that Hopkins told lie, or
fiction as the newspapers would call it In
reality it was simply the preparation of a
joke or "fake." Hopkins was prepared to
write the lie, and asked if they wanted it.
Assistant District Attorney Coyle, the prose
cutting attorney, said Gen. Henkle's argu-
ment had made such an impression on him
that he was unwilling to risk trial on this
information. The judge thsn dismissed the
